This class is a 16 week class; one in the spring and one in the fall.

Theatre is great for kids with a love of the spotlight or those wanting to come out of their shell.

This class is meant for those with no theatre experience or very basic knowledge who want to learn and get better at acting! I recommend taking this class alongside the Production classes either in the spring or fall semester.

Some of the skills we’ll be going through include:

• Volume/Projection

• Enunciation/Diction

• Theatre Terms

• Stage Directions

• Expression

• Mime

• Adlib/Improvisation

• Audition tips

• Stage Presence

We may utilize some reader’s theatre scripts or monologues, but there will not be a performance at the end of the semester or in the showcases.

Required supplies:

• Water bottle

• Highlighter

• Pencil

• Folder for handouts

• They need to wear clothes they can move around in and shoes that will stay on their feet and be good for the surface of the stage. Jazz shoes are highly recommended.

• Hair will need to be in a ponytail or otherwise out of the face.
